Morphology
inconceivably = inconceivable (semi-transparent) = in + conceive + able + ly
The adverb is a regular and fully predictable formation from the adjective 'inconceivable' with '-ly'.
Etymology
Inconceivably comes from in- meaning 'not' and conceive meaning 'to imagine' or 'form an idea', the same root you see in concept. So inconceivably means 'not able to be imagined', which is why we use it to say something is very or unbelievably large, beautiful, or strange.
